1v0 to 2v2 Waves

15 min · Intermediate · 8+ players · Medium space

Description

Setup
A 30 by 20 yard box, a goal and keeper at one end. Two queues at the halfway line, coach with balls.
Play
First player goes 1v0 and finishes. As soon as they shoot, a defender enters and the next attacker joins, making it 2v1. Then another defender, making it 2v2. Then reset.
Score
Each wave is worth a goal. Count the round as a win if the attackers score in two of the three waves.
Harder
Start at 2v1 and finish at 3v3.
Easier
Give the attackers an extra two seconds before the defender is released.
